ALM-17007 Garbage Collection (GC) Time of the Oozie Process Exceeds the Threshold

Alarm Description

The system checks GC time of the Oozie process every 60 seconds. The alarm is generated when GC time of the Oozie process exceeds the threshold (default value: 12 seconds). The alarm is cleared when GC time is less than the threshold.

Alarm Attributes

Alarm Parameters

Impact on the System

Oozie scheduling task responds slowly until the service is unavailable.

Possible Causes

The heap memory of the Oozie instance is overused or the heap memory is inappropriately allocated.

Handling Procedure

Check GC time.

1. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose O&M > Alarm > Alarms > Garbage Collection (GC) Time of the Oozie Process Exceeds the Threshold > Location. Check the IP address of the instance involved in this alarm.
2. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Oozie > Instance. Click the instance for which the alarm is generated to go to the page for the instance. Click the drop-down menu in the chart area and choose Customize > GC > Garbage Collection (GC) Time of Oozie. Click OK.
3. Check whether GC time of the Oozie process every second exceeds the threshold (default value: 12 seconds).
   • If yes, go to 4.
   • If no, go to 6.

4. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Oozie > Configurations. Click All Configurations. Search GC_OPTS in the search box. Increase the value of -Xmx as required, and click Save. Click OK.
   

   Suggestions on GC parameter settings for Oozie:

   You are advised to set -Xms and -Xmx to the same value to prevent adverse impact on performance when JVM dynamically adjusts the heap memory size.

5. Restart the affected services or instances and check whether the alarm is cleared.
   • If yes, no further action is required.
   • If no, go to 6.

Collect fault information.

6. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose O&M > Log > Download.
7. Select Oozie in the required cluster from the Service drop-down list.
8. Click the edit icon in the upper right corner, and set Start Date and End Date for log collection to 10 minutes ahead of and after the alarm generation time, respectively. Then, click Download.
9. Contact the O&M engineers and send the collected logs.

Alarm Clearance

After the fault is rectified, the system automatically clears this alarm.
